Riverside Studio Glass Blowing by Kenneth Marine

Kenneth was en-route to California from his home in South Carolina when he was offered a job as a glassblower's apprentice in the Missouri Ozarks in 1986. He put his plans for a career in music performance and recording technology on what he thought would be a 'brief' hold. Seventeen years later, his fascination with hot glass continues to grow.

His work has a solid grounding in both the practical and artistic sides of the glass business. He strives to reflect a high level of craftsmanship in his work as well as a good sense of form and a strong awareness of color. He enjoys the glass making process, taking a few simple ingredients (sand, soda ash, limestone) and heating it to 2200 degrees. Kenneth gathers the glass on the end of a blow pipe to blow and off-hand form the glass into various works of art. Many of Kenneth's solid sculptures are inspired by numerous trips to the zoo with his two young boys, Weston and Alex. Kenneth's wife Julie is involved in product design and manages the business.

Kenneth's glass is sold in more than 100 galleries and gift shops— from Alaska to Hawaii, California to Maine, Washington to Virgin Islands. He also attends art shows in Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and Maryland.

You may contact Kenneth and Julie by phone or e-mail for a retail catalog or show schedule.
